LUCY VERASAMY, who regularly presents the weather forecast on ITV, has spilled the off-screen secrets to presenting a live broadcast.

Good Morning BritainLucy Verasamy, 38, revealed what goes in preparation for a live show, in which she spilled she has to stand on a bath mat. Lucy said: “I refer to a monitor at the side of the camera which plays out the images the audience can see. “I also stand on a bath mat so that my microphone doesn’t pick up the sound of my heels.” Lucy spoke out about the off-camera secrets to Stylist magazine when she presented the forecast on ITV show Daybreak back in 2013.

The latter aired from 2010 to 2014.

Lucy went on to say the favourite phrase she loves to say to her audience.

The brunette beauty added: “I love getting to say ‘There’s going to be sunshine and showers because it might mean there’ll be rainbows’, but snow is my favourite weather because we rarely see it in London.”

Lucy now regularly presents the weather on ITV shows including Good Morning Britain.

She previously revealed how and why she got into the job in an unearthed interview.

Speaking on the Sim Courtie show, she said: “I did a degree in geography and sciences at university and I really liked the meteorology side to it, so I didn’t do pure meteorology.

“And then after university I did some work experience at the Press Association and they had a weather department and I sort of got trained in-house and was there for a few years and then a few years later I ended up at Sky News.

“It was all a bit flukey and being in the right place at the right time but quite a weather theme all along.”

Meanwhile, Lucy recently whipped her 160,000 followers into a frenzy on Twitter with a recent forecast.

The weather star sported a tight-fitted white top which clung on to her desirable physique.

One user commented: “Happy new year @LucyWeather Wishing you lots happiness in 2019, Can't wait to see you on the TV this year, you are a little ray of sunshine.”

A second added: “Lucy does grow more beautiful as time passes.”

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV from 6am.

Before She Was Famous

Lucy Verasamy was born and grew up in Norfolk. She went on to graduate with a BSc in geography from London’s Brunel University 17 years ago. This led to a role at the Press Association as a forecaster, which she stayed at for four years.

Party Time

Lucy once went on a “messy” night out with former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson. It all came about back in 2011 during the BBC motoring show’s live tour in South Africa, and she later labelled it a “lost weekend”. “It was definitely one of the best nights I’ve had,” she told the Mirror.

Debut

After doing a work experience placement, the star joined Sky and became the broadcaster’s regular weather presenter for breakfast show Sunrise. She was regularly seen on screen for half a decade before moving to ITV rival Daybreak.

Bad Memories

Lucy Verasamy has revealed her worst ever holiday, which came about in her 20s and involved Havana in Cuba. After a series of flight delays, she arrived at her hotel that appeared to have blood stains on the floor. “We slept with our valuables under our pillow,” she told the MailOnline.

Live On Air

Earlier this year, the star received a cheeky comment from stand-in Good Morning Britain host, Richard Madeley. She was wearing a denim minidress for the instalment and joked that it might shrink in the rain. The Richard and Judy star then quipped: “I think you should pop outside at once and test it out."
